IT IS FRICKIN HARD TO FIND A NINJA 250 UNDER 3000 BUCKS CRAIGSLIST IS NOT PRODUCING LIKE I THOUGHT IT WOULD. EVERYBODY IS TRYNA GET RID OF THEIR 600s AND 1000s AND SELLIN EM ANYWHERE FROM 5Gs TO 9Gs UGH! THIS IS GONNA BE DIFFICULT.......

i was at the local bike shop i met a guy there that had been in an accident. He was riding thru an intersection and a car ran the red light.now the guy says he was watching out and saw the car wasnt stopping. he stopped as fast as he could, as he applied the brakes he locked up is front tire and he barely missed the rear bumper. hitting the ground going about 50 mph, he broke his leg in 2 places and had a BAD case of rash from his knee down to the ankle. that was the biggest reddish brown with purple   more...and blue all around it scab i have ever seen. i asked him what was he wearing. "jeans" GEEZUS i thought jeans offered SOME kinda of proection i guess not LESSON TO BE LEARNED: ALWAYS RIDE IN FULL GEAR. now i know why my instructor said " dress for the FALL not the ride"  less

well ina about two more months ill be set to ride. common sense says get a 250 buuuuuut im really confident within myself to handle a 600 maybe a F4i or an R6 (used of course ITS MY FIRST BIKE) or maybe even a 500ex. I dunno decisions. decisions....
